WT, what you've quoted about DL's intentions are all fine and good, but has nothing to do with what I was saying. DL's not the only carrier serving ATL. And no, I'm not just talking about WN, either.
Putting a terminal on the far side of the airfield would be an option, but would make it quite difficult to tie into the people mover. It might be possible to put a charter/LCC terminal over there, but even that starts getting even more complicated than it needs to be. And, as mentioned two posts above, the shops don't need to be close to the runway. Having gates close to the people mover and existing garages/roadways is a little more pressing.
